Channel 4 is reorganising its Executive team as it seeks to invest more in digital and “put viewers at the heart of decision-making.”
It forms part of its Future4 strategy, which was launched in November last year.
The main changes will be across commissioning, with all decision-making across linear, streaming and social falling under the remit of Ian Katz, who becomes Chief Content Officer.
The restructure under Katz is to create “fewer programme genres and fewer layers” and improve the speed of decisions and make the channel easier to interact with.
His responsibilities will also include Acquisitions, which moves from Commercial Affairs to report into Kiran Nataraja who is promoted to Director of Content Strategy & Planning and will focus on optimising content planning and investment across streaming and linear services.
